If it's over 10 years old, then replace your smoke
detectors.

Even hard wired ones are detachable. Ionized detectors need
period
replacement (as do sprinkler heads).

CY: I was in the building much of yesterday. I'll admit, I'm
not even sure where they are.


You should set off a smoke detector and make sure they all
go off.

CY: That's likely to lead to red trucks and flashing lights.


While you're there, maybe you can install a new bishop.

CY: Back ordred, six week delay.

Buy a case of Fabreze for the seats.

CY: That's a thought. The primary (kids room) does have an
odor I've noticed. Didn't notice it yesterday, but then many
of the chairs were out in the hall.

Check the gap around doors/windows for air infiltration.

CY: Easier to do it the winter.

Put a brick on the drinking fountain button and let it run
for a while
to clean it out since it probably doesn't get much use.

CY: I bet you're right. PRobably a load of bacteria.

Put some vinegar in the coffee pot and get rid of the scale.

CY: You're thinking Lutheran. Mormons don't drink coffee or
tea.

Make sure the doors on the dividers in the bathroom close
and latch
right.

CY: Good one, we've had trouble with that.

Replace the artificial flowers in the lady's room.

CY: Or, take em out and hose em off.

Check the OUTSIDE light bulbs.

CY: Wh ich seldom get checked, I'm sure.

Paint your building's street number on the curb in front of
your
building.

CY: I hadn't thought of that.

Re-paint the blue on the handicapped parking spots.

CY: Another good idea.

Call the Fire Department and give them the tour so they know
where
everything is in case of problem and they know the layout.
Also have
them check your Burke Box and make sure the key works.
Locks might
have changed in 10 years.

CY: I am sure that's a good idea. We don't have a Knox box,
t hough.

Also, check your first aid kit and make sure it's complete.
Check
your defibrillator and see if there are any tests that need
to be
performed.

CY: We do have a first aid kit in the kitchen, which is
likely out of bandaids.

Check the batteries on your emergency lighting (push the
button and
see if they work).

CY: A couple months ago, we did have a power out. I was in
the mens room, and it gets incredible dark in there. About
two weeks later, all four bathrooms had power failure
lights. I'll test em, though.

If you are near a city, go buy a weather radio with an alarm
on it and
install it in the church so that you have a warning if bad
weather is
occurring. They are cheap. It is especially important if
you are in
Tornado area, but IIRC you are in WNY so bad winter weather
like
whiteout might be more of a concern.

CY: They have had to cancell church a couple times, but only
in winter. Either the roads are bad, or the parking lot is a
sheet of ice.

Might be good to install a couple of rechargeable
flashlights in case
they are needed.

CY: I suggested a couple flash lights to be kept in the
clerk office, but they didn't like that idea.

Finally, check your keys and make sure that everyone who
should have
one has one and that they all work.

CY: Believe me, there are far, far too many keys ou tthere.


Get someone up on the roof and make sure it's okay.

CY: Flat roof, which was redone about two years ago,
including sheets of styrofoam.

That'll keep you busy for a while. See you at 4:00.

CY: Thanks for the ideas.
